Cajun-seasoned chicken tossed with tomatoes and penne pasta in a garlic parmesan cream sauce. Served with a garlic breadstick.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Pasta

While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Prepare the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.

Sauté the Chicken

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

Make the Sauce

Add the diced tomatoes and cooked penne pasta to the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top.

Combine Ingredients

Serve the Cajun chicken pasta warm, accompanied by garlic breadsticks.
